The guys in blue are players the Pistons could get without trading a core player or a good bench player. A Nazr, Flip, Dupree combination could work with those guys except for Camby. The Pistons would have to do a little more to get him.

This is where many posters are in their own little fantasy world. You cannot just pick a legitimate NBA player off another roster and think that Joe Dumars can call up that team's GM and say we'll give you Nazr, Dupree, Hunter and Murray for the guy. Why would any team in the NBA want another team's scrubs for a contributing player?

come on.... who wouldn't want to trade a starter for a backup center a back up guard and a great vetern to sit on the bench in a suit?

that actually sounds great with the rookie salary being so low... we should be able to call up portland and get there young stud Oden

What perfect world are you living in? Think before you post because it can be done. If someone could help me out here because I remember the Pistons getting a certain All Star big man without trading Chauncey, Rip, Tayshaun, Ben Wallace, Mehmet Okur, and our 2nd round draft pick Darko Milicic. Who wanted the Pistons scrubs then? I am not living in a fantasy world, and I am also not living in a world were a good trade cannot happen. If a GM has the mentality you have then their would be little improvement as far as trades go. Sometimes you have to propose a crazy deal because it just might work. If you keep trading equals that won't get you anywhere.

As of right now a trade involving those guys for a good center probably would not work, but like I said it does not have to happen right now. A good week or two for those guys and their stocks rise. Maybe one of the players the Pistons want to trade for has certain issues with the team he's already on. If things like that happen a "fantasy deal" can be done.

Sacto just signed Moore, I doubt they'd be interesting in a trade like this. Philly is not going to let Dalembert go. Shareef was never known for his D. Camby is out of our current trade possibilities. That leaves Wright as the only choice.

Is the NBA reaching full capacity? According to a slew of unsigned veteran free agents, 2nd round picks, undrafted rookies, and their distressed representation this summer—that seems to be exactly the case. Whereas in most years there are a host of teams with roster spots for an agent to choose from, things appear to be slightly different this time around.

By our count, there are as few as 32 roster spots available to all the remaining unsigned players left on the market, and probably closer to 25 or 26 spots since six to seven teams will leave at least one roster spot open like they did on the opening days of 2005-06 and 2006-07.

-#57 pick Sammy Mejia might be what you would call a lame duck going into training camp. Detroit signing Jarvis Hayes to a one-year deal brought their guaranteed contract total to 15 players, meaning that Mejia right now appears to be the odd man out. The good part for him is that his agents (again Andy Miller and Justin Zanik) managed to get him some guaranteed money up front to ease the pain—$125,000, just for being a good sport about it. The D-League could be a route he might decide to take, but considering how well he played in summer league and the fact that he’s already 24 years old, a solid overseas situation could look very attractive.

I don't know the answer to that. But since it is probably going to be his last season, there is something to be said for not transitioning to another system and another set of players. He's going to want to go to a team that will have a title shot, so that limits his options. Then, the question becomes, do they want him?

If I were Flip, I would promise Dale as many starts as he wants for 07-08. Then, Sheed, Dyess, and Nazr can fill in for C the other 28 minutes per game.

Sacto just signed Moore, I doubt they'd be interesting in a trade like this.I'll agree with that. Philly is not going to let Dalembert go. How do you know that? Shareef was never known for his D. Neither was Nazr or Flip S. but the Pistons ended up with them didn't they? Camby is out of our current trade possibilities. Not necessarily. The Pistons would have to give up more to get him, but you make it sound impossible. That leaves Wright as the only choice. Not true
